Sharon Stone opened up about a bizarre vision and premonition she had while she was recovering from her 2001 stroke, which was nearly fatal.
The Basic Instinct actress shared exactly what happened during a new conversation on Mayim Bialik's "Breakdown" podcast (via Entertainment Weekly).
Sharon Stone's Bizarre Vision
Stone opened up to Mayim Bialik about the vision.
Stone explained that while her sleep patterns were disrupted, she had a sort of vision or apparition in her home.
"When I was first home from the hospital, I couldn’t sleep at night and I was sleeping in the day," she told the Big Bang Theory alum. "When I was laying on the couch, sleeping and awake, these orbs sort of presented themselves to me. These five orbs presented themselves to me and they sort of talked to me, but in a digital language."
Sharon Stone Had a Premonition About Her Son's Custody

While communicating with the orbs, Stone said that she cared above all about her son Roan, who was 1 years old at the time.
"I just kept saying to them, 'I don’t know if I’m supposed to stay here or if I’m supposed to die.' And they said, ‘You’re supposed to stay,'" she recalled. "And I said, 'I can only stay if two of you will stay with my son. Because I don’t want him to be alone, and I think he’s gonna get taken from me.'"
Unfortunately, she was right, and she lost custody of Roan to her then-husband Phil Bronstein when they separated.
"Sure enough, he was taken from me," she told Bialik. "And I said, 'We have to have an agreement. The two of you will stay with him and protect him.' And they agreed. And they said, 'But your destiny requires that we stay with you.'"
